The evening went as follows: upon arrival everyone had their picture taken (copies were given out the next day at church). Then everyone went to the gym where they had tables set up for dinner. Each table had everything it needed for the meal, so no one needed to get up. They had rolls, meats, cheeses, etc. for sandwiches, along with chips and a vegetable tray and fruit bowl. Sounds yummy, and not too messy for the girls in their fancy dresses. There was a cake for dessert, and while they ate the cake, there a was a little program that consisted of a short slide show with pictures of various lighthouses along with quotes from general authorities about letting your light shine and about young women. This went along with the theme which was "Let it Shine". Following the slide show there were a few short messages given (mostly just testimonies) from some of the primary leaders from the wards. Then the program portion was over.
The dance floor was quickly cleared of the tables, and the dancing began. The DJ had a good mix of upbeat songs and slow songs, as well as one that was only the girls in the middle (basically to give the dads a rest).
Emma had so much fun, and can't wait until next year. I love that they have this activity just for the girls. It's such a fun opportunity for them to spend some extra special time with their dads.
